Complete Guide To Moissanite Grillz

Grillz have been one of the prominent symbols of hip-hop culture for many years now. The pretty dental accessories worn by artists and fans are their way of flaunting their style and success. Since traditional diamond grillz are usually priced in the thousands of dollars, they are not accessible to many people. The introduction of moissanite grillz has shaken the market by providing the same sparkling brilliance at a price you can comfortably afford.

What Are Moissanite Grillz?

Moissanite grillz are dental ornaments that can be removed and placed on your teeth, and they feature moissanite stones instead of diamonds. These dazzling smiles are made by putting fashion accessories over your teeth. You may wear them to a wedding, a show, or even for a fashionable everyday look.

Moissanite is a well-known gemstone that closely resembles diamonds. It was originally found in a meteor crater by scientists in 1893. Since natural moissanite is hard to find, people now determine it in the laboratory. The lab-run moissanite possesses the same glow and brilliance as its natural counterpart.

The moissanite grill stones are embedded in a frame made of precious metals.

The base materials of such grillz are usually gold, silver, or platinum. A jeweler can hand-polish each moissanite stone to make it shine to its fullest. The outcome is a piece of jewelry, and the diamond grillz cannot claim superiority over it.

Moissanite teeth can be arranged in various ways. It can be just a cap for one tooth, a set for either your upper or lower teeth, or even the entire mouth. The custom fitting ensures that you wear them comfortably and securely. Professional jewelers take molds of your teeth to create pieces that fit perfectly.

Features Of Moissanite Grillz

The main reason moissanite grillz are the talk of the town is their unmatched brilliance. On the Mohs hardness scale, moissanite ranks 9.25, whereas diamond is a perfect 10. This is why moissanite is super tough and hardly gets scratched. With regular wear, your grillz will not lose their luster."

The refractive index is a measure of how much a stone sparkles. Moissanite has a refractive index of 2.65-2.69. For diamonds, it is only 2.42. Therefore, moissanite actually has more fire and brilliance than diamonds. As a result, moissanite grillz will give everyone the impression that rainbows are flashing just for them!"

Depending on quality and size, traditional diamond grillz can be priced anywhere from $5,000 to $50,000. Moissanite teeth can give you the same glamorous look but at a small fraction of the cost, which is 80 to 90% of the price. It costs between $500 and $3,000 to get an entire set of high-quality moissanite grill. With such large price differences, more people can now afford high-end grillz.

Weight is one such factor that has been bothering traditional grillz for years. Due to the dense stones and thick metal settings, diamond grillz become heavy in your mouth. Compared to a diamond, the moissanite weighs approximately 15% less. Because of this, the wearing experience becomes even more comfortable, drawing your attention to the bold look rather than the weight.

One of the main reasons why moissanite is far superior to other deep-diamond alternatives like cubic zirconia in terms of heat resistance is that it can go even higher than 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit without breaking down. Cutter's durability means nothing will happen to your grillz, even if you consume extremely hot foods or drinks. Cubic zirconia, on the other hand, gets cloudy and cracks at much lower ‍‌temperatures."

Types and Styles of Moissanite Grillz

Compared to diamond grillz, moissanite grill offer equally stunning brilliance at a fraction of the price. Firstly, types are the coverings, cuts, and settings of the pieces. The styles range from simple iced-out to the more complex custom designs.

✔Types by Coverage and Design

Full Grillz

Full grillz is a term for the set that covers your entire teeth from molar to molar. The total coverage effect gives you maximum shine and the most dramatic look. Such a full set is quite suitable for performers or anyone who wishes to be noticed at once. Since the coverage is extensive, the cost will also be higher, but you won't get the same visual impact anywhere else.

Bottom Grillz

Bottom grillz refer only to the lower set of your teeth. Many people planning to wear grillz for the first time start with this. The lower teeth are what you most often show when you talk or smile.

Top Grillz

Top grillz, on the contrary, cover your upper teeth and give a different look than bottom sets. They show up when you smile or when you laugh loudly. Some people who wear grillz choose both the top and bottom sets for a complete look.

Partial Grillz

Partial grillz are designed for specific teeth or sections of your mouth only. You can limit yourself to just the front six teeth, or you can accentuate the canines by doing them as fangs.

Solid Grillz

Solid grillz are metal pieces of jewelry that have a solid metal base in which moissanite stones are placed in a particular pattern. In these pieces, the metal is not just a setting but is actually part of the design.

End-Capped Grillz

End-capped grillz are pieces of jewelry that fully embody the design of the end teeth. The caps might take either an extended fang shape or a unique shape. The end caps not only frame your smile but also give a full representation of the personality of a standard grillz.

Custom Designs

Custom designs attract personalization by incorporating names, logos, initials, or unique shapes into the grillz. Quite popular as custom elements are crosses, hearts, stars, and animal figures.

✔Styles by Setting and Cut

Iced-Out Style

An iced-out grillz has been decorated with brilliant-cut moissanite throughout to achieve maximum sparkle. Every visible surface is covered with stones placed as closely as possible.

Rimless Setting

Rimless settings are a type of invisible mounting in which the stones sit without visible metal prongs. The moissanite gem looks like it's directly shining from your teeth.

Bezel Set

Bezel settings enhance a gem's charm by surrounding it with a narrow metal rim. The frame not only adorns the stones but also holds them securely in place. Bezel-set grillz are very durable as the metal protects the delicate edges of the stones.

Zig-Zag Pattern

Zig-zag patterns arrange stones in angular lines across your teeth. This eye-catching design has become extremely popular for full coverage grillz. The geometric pattern catches light from multiple directions.

Wave and Heart Designs

Wave designs create flowing patterns using carefully placed moissanite stones. Heart shapes arranged across teeth add romantic or playful elements. These designs require precise stone placement to maintain the pattern.

Jumbo Pointers

Jumbo pointers feature larger individual stones set prominently across your teeth. The six-pointer style uses six large stones on the front visible teeth. These oversized stones create a bolder, icier appearance than standard sizes.

Different Stone Cuts

Brilliant cut stones offer the most traditional diamond appearance with maximum sparkle. A princess cut creates a square shape with pointed corners, giving it a modern look. Cushion cut combines a square shape with rounded corners for a softer appearance.

Advantages Of Moissanite Grillz

◆Unbeatable Value For Money

Moissanite grillz offer you the look of luxury at very reasonable prices. You will get an equally stunning glare as diamond grillz, but you will only pay a fraction of the price. That means you can get a nice custom fit and top-notch metal settings.

◆Superior Brilliance and Fire

Moissanite has such properties that it can flash more rainbows than diamonds can. This dazzling effect makes your grillz even more noticeable in low light. The sparkling light is beamed everywhere with every movement of your mouth.

◆Exceptional Durability

Moissanite is second only to diamonds in scratch and chip resistance. Your grillz will be shiny after many years of wearing them. Even if you accidentally press your teeth too hard, the stones will not break.

◆Comfortable Long-Term Wear

The fact that moissanite is lighter in weight than diamonds helps to reduce the tiredness of the mouth. You are able to wear your grillz all day long without experiencing any kind of discomfort. The difference in weight also means that your teeth and gums are under less pressure.

◆Ethical and Sustainable Choice

There are no ethical issues when it comes to lab-grown moissanite stones. Production of these gems does not harm the environment. There are no miners whose lives are at risk when these stones are taken from the earth.

• Easy Maintenance

Because moissanite is resistant to oils and chemicals, its cleaning procedure is straightforward. The first step is simply to wash with soap and water, which is enough to bring back the sparkle. These stones do not get the dull layer that some diamond alternatives do.

How to Choose and Buy Moissanite Teeth

Setting the teeth that you want to be covered is the first thing to do. Most beginners usually select the bottom six grillz because they are still visible but less overwhelming. Full sets are a bolder statement but need a bigger money commitment. Think about whether you plan to wear them in everyday life or just occasionally.

The size of the stone not only determines how it looks but also how much it costs. The ever larger 10x10mm stones dress for impact but go for a higher price than the 8x8mm ones. Decide what look matches your style.

The kind of metal that you wear depends on your personal style and how much money you are willing to spend. Gold-plated pieces are relatively cheap but need frequent maintenance. Solid gold grillz are more durable and will keep their finish longer. 10K gold gives you nice strength at the lowest price out of 14K and 18K. Silver of good quality can give you a nice, decent look for less.

Having a customized fit is the main thing that differentiates between a grillz that is a good fit and one that constantly irritates your mouth. A professional jeweler makes the dental impressions for the exact fit.

It is important to be realistic when you budget for the entire cost. Usually, custom moissanite grillz start at about $500 for a bottom six set with 8x8mm stones. One can spend $3,000 or more on a full-mouth set with larger stones and for premium metals. Remember to include the time for delivery in your schedule. It normally takes two to four weeks for custom orders.

Proper care keeps your grillz looking brilliant for years. Follow these maintenance tips:

• Remove your grillz before eating to prevent food particles from getting trapped
